Over the past two years, many filmmakers have hesitated or refrained from bringing their films to Israeli film festivals as part of cultural boycott of Israel over the Gaza war. But for Joshua Zeman, the decision to bring his powerful new documentary “Checkpoint Zoo” to the Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival was “merely part and parcel of the whole experience of making a film about something that's been politicized that shouldn’t be politicized.” Zeman’s film tells the dramatic story of the 2022 rescue of nearly 5,000 animals from the Feldman Ecopark zoo in Ukraine located on the Russian border outside the city of Kharkiv – on the front lines of the war – lovingly built and maintained by an animal-loving Orthodox Jewish oligarch, Oleksandr Feldman. “There has been a lot of backlash against Ukraine here in the States, even though the film is just about people rescuing animals, so the film was already complicated for me in terms of getting distribution,” Zeman said on the Haaretz Podcast. “Checkpoint Zoo” chronicles the efforts of Feldman, a handful of zoo workers who did not flee Kharkiv during the war and four idealistic volunteers as they risked their lives under fire from drones and bombs to remove lions, tigers, monkeys, ostriches and other animals out of from harm’s way in a modern-day Noah’s Ark. “War by definition is brutality created to strip away your humanity. But in rescuing these animals, these volunteers not only refound their humanity, but found this unbelievable well of courage.” Zeman sees Feldman – who allowed his luxurious mansion to be taken over by the rescued animals – as “a Schindler-esque character.” After Feldman’s businesses in Kharkiv were destroyed by the war, he was forced to “basically sell everything to care for these animals,” Zeman recounted. “Whenever we talked about the animals, he immediately cried. He's a big crier – he is a fascinating character who espouses a lot of values from the Torah.” Read more: Meet Oleksander Feldman, the Lonely Ukrainian Jew Fighting His Country’s New Fondness for Nazis 'It Is a Fascist Project': The Ukrainian Filmmaker Who Withdrew From a Prestigious Amsterdam Film Festival Because of the Israel Boycott Read all of Haaretz's film coverage Russian Strikes Destroy Centers of Jewish Life in Kharkiv as Community Members Flee The Tragic End of the Ukrainian Community in GazaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the late 1980s, Norway needed a new market for its growing farmed salmon production. Fish-loving Japan and its lucrative sushi market seemed to fit the bill. But salmon was one fish the Japanese did not eat raw. Lars Bevanger speaks to Bjørn-Eirik Olsen, the man who came up with the idea of putting salmon on sushi rice, and who spent years convincing the Japanese to eat it.

There are movies you enjoy, movies you love, and then there are Life Changing Movies, the ones that hit you at the exact right moment and quietly shape how you see the world. In this special Born to Watch episode, Whitey and Gow sit down on the couch for a rare daytime recording to unpack the films that genuinely changed them, not just as movie fans, but as people.Originally planned as a solo episode, Whitey quickly realised this topic needed conversation, reflection, and a bit of friendly back-and-forth. What follows is a deeply personal walk through cinema history, from classic black and white films through to modern blockbusters, with each movie tied to a specific time, place, and feeling. These are not rankings, not reviews, and not necessarily the “greatest films of all time”. These are the films that left a permanent mark.The rules were simple. The films had to be movies Born to Watch has never reviewed before, and they had to be experienced in the order Whitey first saw them. What unfolds is a cinematic timeline that mirrors growing up, discovering new genres, and realising that movies can be far more than mere entertainment. They can be confronting, comforting, terrifying, inspiring, and sometimes completely overwhelming.The episode kicks off with The African Queen, a film Whitey first watched as a kid with his Nan, and a gateway into old cinema that opened the door to classics like Casablanca and Captain's Courageous. From there, the conversation moves into The Great Escape, a film both hosts hold in incredibly high regard, not just for its iconic moments, but for its storytelling, tension, and emotional weight that still holds up decades later.As the timeline moves forward, the episode touches on cultural moments that defined entire generations. Seeing Batman (1989) in a packed cinema, complete with Prince's soundtrack and Jack Nicholson's Joker, becomes more than just a movie memory. It becomes a snapshot of adolescence, crushes, embarrassment, and the shared chaos of opening night at the local cinema.The conversation does not shy away from darker territory. Films like Deliverance, The Evil Dead, Psycho, and Schindler's List are discussed not for shock value, but for the way they challenged expectations and forced viewers to confront uncomfortable truths. These are films that stay with you long after the credits roll, sometimes in ways you do not fully understand until years later.Blockbusters also have their place. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is remembered as a near-perfect cinematic experience, combining groundbreaking visual effects with emotional storytelling and characters that audiences genuinely cared about. It is a reminder that big movies can still have heart and depth when done correctly..The episode closes by reflecting on films driven by dialogue and ideas, particularly JFK, a movie that became comfort viewing for Whitey despite its heavy subject matter. It represents how movies can evolve with us, revealing new layers each time we revisit them.This is an episode about memory, growth, and the quiet power of cinema. Whether you agree with every pick or not, these Life Changing Movies will almost certainly spark memories of your own. #BornToWatch #LifeChangingMovies #MovieMemories #FilmPodcast #CinemaLovers #MovieNostalgia #ClassicFilms #FilmDiscussion #MovieFans #PodcastAustralia

Operation Flagship was a U.S Marshals sting operation, where some of Washington DC's most wanted fugitives, were lured to a convention centre under the pretence of having won coveted NFL tickets in December 1985.

In December 1975, four members of one of the IRA's deadliest units were chased by police through the streets of London before hiding out in a small flat owned by a middle-aged couple called John and Sheila Matthews.

They proclaimed a new Republic of Biafra.When the fighting began, Soyinka was building a reputation as a poet and playwright abroad. However, in a last-ditch attempt to avert civil war, he set off on a secret mission behind the front line to meet the Biafran leader, Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. When he left Biafra, he was imprisoned by the federal government without trial for more than two years.Soyinka drew on his prison experience in his writing over the following years, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986 - the first African to win the award.

An Afghan national shot two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. Counterterrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler says this may be more than a mental health case. He warns extremist networks in Taliban-run Afghanistan now reach directly into Afghan diaspora communities online. The attacker's travel, target selection, and ambush tactics match modern lone-actor terror patterns. Schindler says social media platforms—not law enforcement—hold the real early-warning data.

This week, we watch a film that is beyond anything a summary could cover.  A must see, a masterpiece. Schindler's List, directed by Steven Spielberg. 

Wie radikal ist die neue AfD-Jugend - und was bedeutet „Generation Deutschland“ für die Partei?Am Gründungstag der neuen Jugendorganisation schaut Paul nicht nur auf die eskalierenden Proteste in Gießen, sondern vor allem in die Halle: Wer übernimmt dort die Kontrolle, wie funktioniert die neue „Kaderschmiede“ und warum wurde die alte „Junge Alternative“ überhaupt ersetzt? WELT-Reporter Frederik Schindler, der seit Jahren zur AfD recherchiert und ein Buch über Björn Höcke geschrieben hat, berichtet von seinen Eindrücken vor Ort, erklärt die Rolle von Jean-Pascal Hohm und dem Münzenmaier-Netzwerk und ordnet ein, wie eng die neue Jugendorganisation mit rechtsextremen Milieus verflochten ist. Es geht um Begriffe wie „Remigration“, den Umgang mit dem Verfassungsschutz, Höckes Einfluss auf die Jugend - und die Frage, warum all die Enthüllungen über die Radikalisierung der AfD den Höhenflug der Partei in den Umfragen bisher kaum bremsen.Höcke - Ein Rechtsextremist auf dem Weg zur Macht.

Following the Beatles' final concert tour, George Harrison travelled to India in 1967 to learn sitar under the renowned musician Ravi Shankar. Fleeing Beatlemania he travelled in disguise to Mumbai and then to Srinagar in Kashmir. Listening to BBC archive and using excerpts from a Martin Scorsese documentary, we hear one of the world's most famous guitarists challenge himself to learn a new instrument. The moment influenced George's spirituality and his burgeoning solo musical career, as well as the Beatles'. It also propelled Ravi Shankar further into the limelight.

In den USA wächst die Kritik an Donald Trump – auch aus den eigenen Reihen. Noch hat der Präsident seine Republikaner im Griff, aber die Risse in seiner Macht sind unübersehbar. Ist er doch ein Politiker wie jeder andere? Vordergründig sieht alles gut aus: Die US-Börse steht trotz Einbußen noch immer gut da. Die Inflation liegt bei rund drei Prozent, weit weg von den Werten seines Vorgängers Joe Biden. Die Bauwirtschaft und der Energiesektor profitieren von einem ungebremsten KI-Boom. Und dennoch ist US-Präsident Trump in der wohl schwierigsten innenpolitischen Krise seiner Karriere. In dieser Ausgabe von »Acht Milliarden« spricht Host Juan Moreno mit dem Leiter des SPIEGEL-Auslandsressorts, Mathieu von Rohr. Die Frage ist, ob Trump den Kipppunkt seiner zweiten Präsidentschaft erreicht hat. Die Kritik kommt von allen Seiten, auch aus den eigenen Reihen: Republikaner im Kongress verlangen die Herausgabe der Epstein-Akten, die Bauern im Mittleren Westen leiden unter den Sojazöllen, überzeugte MAGA-Wähler müssen sich auf höhere Krankenversicherungsbeiträge einstellen. Der US-Präsident wirkt zudem müde und ausgelaugt und nimmt deutlich weniger Termine wahr als in seiner ersten Amtszeit. Man habe den Eindruck, dass Trump langsam in die »Lame duck«-Phase seiner Präsidentschaft hineingleiten könnte, so von Rohr.

In 1971, the publishing world was rocked by one of the biggest hoaxes in literary history – a fake autobiography of the reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes.Hughes was an aerospace engineer, film producer, record-breaking aviator and business tycoon, who'd built a $2 billion fortune to become one of the richest people in the world.But for years he'd been living as a recluse, reportedly so terrified of catching a disease that he had almost no contact with the outside world.That's why the publishers, McGraw Hill, were delighted when Clifford Irving, an American author, persuaded the billionaire to talk. They paid him a $750,000 advance.But Irving had faked the entire manuscript, and after his scam was discovered, he was sentenced to jail. Jane Wilkinson has been through the BBC archives to find out how it happened.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

In 1975, the death of General Francisco Franco was announced in Spain, bringing to an end 36 years of dictatorship.Franco had already chosen his successor: Prince Juan Carlos, grandson of the last monarch, Alphonso XIII. This was the man who - Franco thought - would continue his authoritarian, anti-democratic and deeply conservative regime.But Juan Carlos defied expectations. In the years that followed, he would lead Spain from a dictatorship to a democracy until, in 1977, the country held its first free elections for 41 years.Jane Wilkinson tells the story using excerpts from the 1981 BBC and TVE documentary, Juan Carlos: King of Spain.

For the past 50 years, composer John Williams has arguably been the defining sound of cinema. Although he began composing music for TV and film in the 1950s, it wouldn't be until the 1970s that he broke big, thanks to that iconic soundtrack to Stephen Spielberg's Jaws. From there he would go on to provide the music for a slew of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters, and most poignant films, as well as recognizable anthems for pop-culture mainstays like the Olympic Games and NBC Nightly News. John Williams is an American icon, and a definitive creator in film and music. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best John Williams Film Score. Scores discussed: Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Hook, Return of the Jedi, The Empire Strikes Back, Jurassic Park, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Home Alone, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Schindler's List, SupermanJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Amma Marfo, Derek Mekita, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the most recognizable film scores of all time.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss even more compositions from John Williams that didn't make the bracket, ⁠become a Patreon supporter of the podcast⁠ today.Episode CreditsHost: ⁠Eric Rezsnyak⁠Panelists: ⁠Amma Marfo⁠, ⁠Derek Mekita⁠, ⁠Kate Racculia⁠ Producer: ⁠Bob Erlenback⁠ Editor: John HigginsTheme Music: “Dance to My Tune” by Marc Torch#johnwilliams #film #filmscores #composer #composers #orchestralmusic #orchestral #starwars #indianajones #harrypotter #superman #jurassicpark #jaws #homealone #hook #schindlerslist #savingprivateryan #empirestrikesback #imperialmarch #returnofthejedi #phantommenaceIG: https://www.instagram.com/greatpopculturedebate/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/gpcd.bsky.socialWebsite: https://www.greatpopculturedebate.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/greatpopculturedebateSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
